A Quote from a long, long time ago, before #metoo

... And of course, I would like to thank my director, as well. He is the one who dove deep down into me to drag out this character. If it wasn't for him, I would never had known I had such a character in me.
And when I say "he is the one who dove deep down into me" I obviously mean: I hope you enjoyed it when I slept with you in order to get the part. I shut myself down during the deed, just so you know. In any case, my memories of it are quite vague. And, by God, I hope it was YOU I slept with to get the part, because if it wasn't, who the hell was it, you untalented fuck?! Excuse my French...

-Jean Koning (during the acceptance speech for the CC Talent Award for Best Actor in Theater, 1993)

***disclaimer***

Jean does not trivialize the #metoo movement and discussions. He does, however, believe there is a better place to communicate about the subject rather than on the Internet. All the Internet does, is turn subjects—no matter the severeness of the subjects—into a form of entertainment.

Women and men being harassed by their superiors should not be treated as entertainment!
